Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is targeting Pennsylvania during the final week of the campaign. On Thursday, Donald’s wife, Melania, will speak on his behalf in Berwyn, and then Donald Trump himself will visit Hershey on Friday. Plus, vice presidential nominee Mike Pence is holding a rally on Moon Township this week.

The reason for this is that the Trump campaign is hoping to find a state that’s leaning blue and turn it red in order to take him over the 270 Electoral College votes necessary to become president. If Trump wins all of the states currently leaning red and he picks up every battleground state, i.e. Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Arizona and Nevada, that would only put him at 265 electoral votes.

From there, Trump has a few options to push him over 270. He could win a combination of New Hampshire and Maine’s second congressional district, which explains why his very last rally will take place on Monday night in Manchester; he could win Wisconsin; he could win Michigan; he could win Virginia; or he could win Pennsylvania. The Trump campaign is exploring all of these possibilities, having held events in each of these states throughout October.

Scoring Pennsylvania, though, would be Trump’s best option. The state is worth 20 Electoral College votes, and so winning it gives him room to lose a battleground state like Nevada or North Carolina but still win the election. Meanwhile, the Hillary Clinton campaign has been going on defense in Pennsylvania, hoping to hold on to their lead in the polls and maintain enthusiasm in a state where there is no early voting. On Friday, November 3rd, Hillary Clinton will speak to voters in Pittsburgh, and on Monday, Clinton holds a rally with Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, Barack Obama and Michelle Obama.

It’s still unlikely that Trump will be able to win Pennsylvania. FiveThirtyEight, a website that attempts to predict the results of the election, forecasts that Clinton has a 76.3 percent chance of winning Pennsylvania. And they’re a little more charitable towards Trump than some other forecasters like The New York Times’ The Upshot, which has Clinton at a 92 percent chance of victory in the state. In recent days, after a bad week of news for the Democrats, Pennsylvania polls have tightened slightly, although Clinton still leads Trump in every major survey.

Susquehanna: Clinton Two Points Ahead

In the latest Susquehanna poll, Hillary Clinton maintains a lead over Donald Trump, although it is a narrower lead than she has had in recent months and it is within the margin of error. The poll was conducted on October 31st and November 1st by speaking to 681 likely voters. The margin of error is 3.8 percentage points.

Two percent of those polled selected Gary Johnson, while another two percent chose Jill Stein and five percent remain undecided.

When asked what is the most important issue facing the country today, a plurality of voters – 25 percent – chose the economy, followed by health care and education, making government more accountable and responsible, and terrorism. Although one of Trump’s key issues is illegal immigration, only five percent of those polled said this is the most important issue facing America.

Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump had high unfavorable ratings in the state, with Donald Trump’s being slightly higher. Of those polled, 52 percent said they have an unfavorable view of Hillary Clinton, and 54 percent said the same of Trump.

Monmouth: Clinton Four Points Ahead

The latest from Monmouth gives Clinton a bigger lead over Trump, although once again it’s within the margin of error. The poll was conducted from October 29th through November 1st by speaking to 403 likely voters. The margin of error is 4.9 percentage points.

Three percent of voters selected Gary Johnson, while another one percent chose Jill Stein. When this poll was previously conducted from September 30th through October 3rd, Clinton had a 10 point head.

Although one might initially blame this tightening in the polls on the recent revelation that the FBI is looking into emails that may or may not be relevant to their investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private server, only four percent of those polled by Monmouth said that this made any difference on who they’re going to vote for. Eighty-nine percent said the news had no impact on their decision, and six percent hadn’t heard of the news.

Trump has regained a bit of support from white women since early October, a time when over a dozen women gradually came forward to accuse the Republican candidate of sexual assault. In the previous poll, white women favored Hillary Clinton 55 percent to 35 percent. In this new poll, white women still favor Clinton, but the gap is no longer as wide, with Clinton ahead of Trump 48 percent to 45 percent.

Quinnipiac: Clinton Five Points Ahead

In Quinnipiac’s new poll, Clinton holds a five point lead, even though this poll was conducted in the midst of the FBI investigation announcement and after the news that Obamacare premiums will rise next year. The poll was conducted by speaking to 612 likely voters from October 27th through November 1st. The margin of error is 4.0 percentage points.

Three percent of those polled said they would vote for Gary Johnson, while another three percent said they’d vote for Jill Stein. In a head to head matchup, Hillary Clinton wins 50 percent to 44 percent.

This poll also found that members of both parties are, for the most part, behind their candidate, although Clinton is winning more Republicans than Trump is winning Democrats. Both Clinton and Trump have the support of 85 percent of their respective party, but Clinton is backed by 12 percent of Republicans, and Trump is backed by nine percent of Democrats.

CNN/ORC: Clinton Four Points Ahead

The latest CNN/ORC poll has Clinton once again four points ahead of Trump in Pennsylvania. The poll was conducted by speaking to 799 likely voters from October 27th through November 1st. The margin of error is 3.5 percentage points.

Four percent of those polled chose Gary Johnson, two percent chose Jill Stein, and one percent chose none of the candidates. In a head to head matchup, Clinton leads Trump by five points, 51 percent to 46 percent.

Even after the news that Obamacare premiums will rise in 2017, Barack Obama’s approval rating has actually improved in Pennsylvania. Among likely voters, 54 percent approve of Obama’s job performance compared to 44 percent who do not approve. This is an increase from the end of September, when Obama’s approval rating in the state was 52 percent.

When asked which candidate would better handle various issues, voters said that Donald Trump would have a better handle on the economy, while Hillary Clinton would have a better handle on foreign policy, terrorism, health care and trade. Voters were split on who would best handle immigration, with 49 percent choosing Clinton and 49 percent choosing Trump.
